Abstract
In this final chapter we discuss the application of graph theory in civil engineering. We begin with a very brief description of a problem concerning the construction of earthwork projects. We then go on to the major application of this chapter, which involves the design of urban traffic networks. It represents a major application of digraphs and networks. Further applications of graph theory in civil engineering, involving highway route and pier construction planning, are outlined by Chachra et al. (1979).
The two hour’ traffic of our stage.
Romeo and Juliet, William Shakespeare
